Click on the flashcard to see the answer


What is a magnetic field?

A region around a magnet or a current-carrying wire where the magnetic force can be detected.

What is the SI unit of magnetic field?

Tesla (T)

What happens to the magnetic field when a bar magnet is cut into two pieces?

Each piece still has its own magnetic field.

What is a ferromagnetic material?

A material that can be magnetized and retains its magnetism even when the external magnetic field is removed.

What is the Earth's magnetic field caused by?

The movement of molten iron in its outer core.

How can the direction of a magnetic field be determined?

By using a compass needle which aligns itself with the magnetic field lines.

What is the magnetic field inside a solenoid?

Strong and nearly uniform.

What is the relationship between current and the magnetic field produced by a wire?

The magnetic field is directly proportional to the current.

What is magnetic permeability?

The degree to which a material can be magnetized.

What is the Curie temperature of a ferromagnetic material?

The temperature above which it loses its ferromagnetic properties.

Why does a compass needle point north?

Due to the Earth's magnetic field.

What materials are attracted to a magnet?

Iron, nickel, and cobalt.

What is the direction of the magnetic field outside a magnet?

From the north pole to the south pole.

What is a magnetic domain?

A region within a material where the magnetic fields of atoms are aligned in the same direction.

What is the purpose of a magnetic shield?

To protect sensitive equipment from external magnetic fields.
